The Department of Emergency Medicine at Texas Tech recently tried something different in their latest round of interview sessions. Rather than using the standard “multiple mini interview (MMI) format to assess non-cognitive skills, they set up applicants with the commercially

Artificial Intelligence is perfectly suited for certain medical tasks, such as image recognition and creating predictive models. However, it falls short when it comes to more complex clinical reasoning, and will never provide the reassuring presence of an experienced clinician.

As artificial intelligence surpasses the human eye in its ability to find abnormalities in images, such as a lung nodule on a chest CT or an atypical cell on a Papanicolaou test, the role of radiologists and pathologists has shifted

An analysis of 124 Virtual Reality Exposure Based Therapies (VR-EBT) showed that VR-EBT was effective in combating PTSD. However, among these studies there was a lack of randomized controlled trials or standardized treatments. VR-EBT is an effective and promising treatment

13 patients were treated over a period of 6 weeks with exposure-based VR therapy. In the therapy, the patient experiences a “graded hierarchy” of computer-simulated images controlled by the therapist, from a jet flying over the World Trade Center without

In one of the original papers looking into VR based therapy for PTSD, 16 Vietnam veterans were exposed to VR environments that simulated being in a virtual jungle and a virtual helicopter, with sounds of gunfire, explosions, and yelling. Participants
